Theorem
The only $10$-digit automorphic numbers are:
- $1 \, 787 \, 109 \, 376$
- $8 \, 212 \, 890 \, 625$
Proof
We have:
\(\ds 1 \, 787 \, 109 \, 376^2\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \enspace 3 \, 193 \, 759 \, 92 \mathbf {1 \, 787 \, 109 \, 376}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds 8 \, 212 \, 890 \, 625^2\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 67 \, 451 \, 572 \, 41 \mathbf {8 \, 212 \, 890 \, 625}\) |
thus demonstrating they are automorphic.
By Automorphic Numbers in Base 10, there are no others.
